Andy Cohen remains in the good graces of some “Real Housewives” stars amid multiple lawsuits against the reality TV kingpin.
Former “New York City” castmates Luann de Lesseps and Dorinda Medley have come forward in defense of their one-time boss as he faces co-star Leah McSweeney’s damning allegations — among them that Cohen encourages the abuse of alcohol and cocaine.
According to TMZ, de Lesseps said that while partying is part of the culture of the hit franchise, no one ever forced her to take any drinks. The 68-year-old countess and cabaret singer — who has publicly battled her own substance issues — added that she doesn’t think anyone can make someone else drink.
McSweeney on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against Cohen, Bravo and its affiliated producers, alleging sexual harassment and discrimination.
